A. J. ALEXANDER, SPRING STATION, THE FOUR OFFICES OF THE Gilbert & Barker Manufacturing Company ARE AS FOLLOWS NEW YORK CITY, 82 John Street SPRINGFIELD, MASS., 193 Lyman Street BOSTON, MASS., 51 Union Street PHILADELPHIA, PA., 12 N. Seventh Street I AVERY LIBRARY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY “ASHLAND SOMERSET INN, BERNARDSVILLE, N. J. dE Springfield Gas Machine has been perfected by an experience of more than a third of a century. As it has from the first been made of the most durable materials and with the most perfect workmanship, there are doubtless more of these machines in actual operation to-day than of all the others combined. Thousands of other machines, which have been made of inferior material, are now out of use, be¬ cause they have been destroyed by corrosion, often within three or four years after being set up. The air pump and gas generator of the Springfield Machine are con¬ structed entirely of galvanized Bessemer steel, the mixer of cast iron. The fluid called gasoline is a pure spirit, distilled from naphtha. It is seventeen per cent, hydrogen and eighty- three per cent, carbon; its weight is thirty-five per cent. 6 liquid into vapor Six gallons of gasoline con¬ tained in a thou¬ sand cubic feet of gas, in the ratio of fifteen parts of gasoline vapor to eighty- five parts of air, will supply an il¬ luminating- flame o in an open burn¬ er, may be meas¬ ured through an ordinary gas me¬ ter, and affords illumination and less than that of water ; its hy¬ drometric gravity ranges from 86° to 90° Baume; it is highly volatile, having such strong af¬ finity for air that when brought in contact with a current of it at normal temperature, the entire mass passes readily into a vapor* leaving no residuum behind. This operation obeys the natural law, that the conversion of a occasions refrigeration. GAS GENERATOR—PLATE No. 1 7 heat units equal to those contained in a thousand cubic feet of standard city gas. The office of a gas machine, therefore, when constructed with full appreciation of the natural laws stated above, is to distribute automatically six gallons of gasoline contained in each thousand cubic feet of gas, and to make the mixture constantly uniform under varying conditions of use, quantity AIR PUMP-PLATE No. i and temperature. It should be so constructed that it will produce a gas of uniform quality for years with no manipu- 8 lation or adjustment, except to wind up the propelling- weight once a day, and supply the generator with a proper amount of gasoline several times a year. The apparatus shown on Plate No. i is the only device ever offered which accomplishes this result. Its essential parts are an Air Pump, which supplies the current of air, a Gas Generator (buried in the earth thirty feet or more from the building), which contains the fluid, and furnishes the necessary evaporating surface; and a Mixing Regulator, which compels the proper proportion of air and vapor to mingle. We consider these three parts as follows : First. THE AIR PUMP, Plate No. i, is constructed substantially like a meter wheel, known as a wet meter, and formerly used to measure coal gas, differing, however, in that the meter wheel was revolved by the action of the gas passing through it, while our pump is operated by a weight or water wheel. This instrument is singularly well adapted to its work. Since the propelling weight exerts a uniform power, the pressure furnished by the pump is always the same, whether one burner be lighted or the full number for which the pump is rated. But, in the latter case, since a larger volume of air is required, the pump responds to such demand by a more rapid movement, so that while pressure is constant, volume is automatically variable, and the pump ceases to move when all the burners are turned off. Plate No. 2 illustrates our WATER-WHEEL AIR PUMP, one of the most important distinctive features of 9 the Springfield Gas Ma¬ chine. The action of this machine is entirely auto¬ matic, the supply of water being controlled by the rising and falling of the holder A, which, attached by a lever to the valve B, nicely regulates the amount of water supplied to the wheel, in exact pro¬ portion to the number of burners lighted. If all the burners are shut off, the pres¬ sure, accumulating in the holder A, raises it and shuts the water off en¬ tirely. Now, if a single burner is lighted, the holder falls a trifle, allow¬ ing only enough water to fall upon the wheel to carry one burner. The holder so rising and falling as burners AIR PUMP OPERATED BY WATER—PLATE No. 2 are turned off or on, not an ounce of water is wasted, and as the water is in no way contaminated by such use, it may be saved by being drained into the well or cistern. Six quarts of water will run one burner an hour. The advantages of this Air Pump over that operated by a weight are, that it requires no attention ; never runs SUMMER RESIDENCE OF R. A. SIBLEY, SPENCER, MASS. down; is ready for use at all times; and, as it runs under a light power and low speed, is more durable, and furnishes a more uniform pressure. These Pumps are sold at the same price as the weight pumps. Second. THE GAS GENERATOR, Plate No. i, has every seam not only riveted like a steam-boiler, but massed 11 in solder, so that the cut edges of the steel and the exposed ends of the rivets are completely plated with that metal. It is then covered with boiling tar in several coats. It has large capacity, and is so arranged as to give the greatest possible evaporating surface to the action of the air. Strictly speaking, it is a compound generator; it is made up of a number of evaporating pans or chambers placed in a cylinder one above another. These chambers are divided by frames (which support the several pans) into sinuous passages, which are again subdivided by aprons of textile fabric, which, by capillary attraction, constantly draw the gasoline up into close contact with the air passing through RESIDENCE OF M. B. RICHARDSON, LIME ROCK, CONN. 12 “YADDO,” RESIDENCE OF MR. SPENCER TRASK, AT SARATOGA the generator. The advantage of building a gas generator upon the plan above explained is, that in exposing a number of chambers holding a large quantity of fluid to the refriger¬ ation consequent upon rapid evaporation, this effect is lessened proportionately to the extent of the evaporating surface and quantity of fluid exposed. For instance, sup¬ posing that a gas generator of a certain size is required to supply five burners with gas, it follows that to furnish fifty burners a generator proportionately larger should be used. The chilling effect produced by the rapid evaporation necessary to supply a large number of burners, when con¬ centrated upon a small body of fluid, accounts for the fact 13 that many machines, which work fairly well when only a few burners are in use, fail utterly when the building is fully lighted and a much greater number are burning. Gasoline evaporates as the square of its temperature, in winter the temperature may be as low as 40°, while in summer it may rise as high as 8o°. Hence, a generator may do four times as much work, without artificial heat, at one time as at another. The number of square feet of evaporating surface required to vaporize a gallon of gasoline in a given time is as well ascertained as the amount of surface in a steam boiler required to convert a gallon of water into steam. RESIDENCE OF MR. ALFRED A. POPE, FARMINGTON, CONN. 14 There should be no difficulty in determining the size of a gas generator to accomplish any given amount of work. We are ready at all times to guarantee the amount of gaso¬ line our generators will evaporate in a given time. Other things being equal, the more evaporating sur¬ face the gas generator presents, the stronger and more uniform will be the quality of gas furnished, and proportionately the more reliable will be the machine. 15 Third. THE MIXING REGULATOR, Plate No. 3, is the only Automatic Regulator of the quality of gasoline gas ever devised. A boat floats in water because the weight of the vol¬ ume of water which it displaces equals the weight of the boat. The same law governs aeriform fluids or gases as does liquids. A balloon rises in air because the weight of the balloon and its load, and the hydrogen gas which it contains is less than the air which it displaces. Connect to Riser of Building. 16 Plate No. 4 shows a very substantial cast-iron case in which is suspended a strong sheet-metal can B, closely sealed, and containing nothing but air. The balance-beam E, to which this is hung, is sustained by pin H on agate bearings K. Since the counterpoise F exactly balances the weight of the metal in the can B and its attachments, that factor is eliminated, and we have only to consider the weight of the air in the can, which is a constant quantity. One thousand cubic feet of gasoline gas contains six gallons of gasoline, weighing more than thirty pounds. The air contained in the can B will therefore float in any gasoline gas which may be admitted into the shell around it, and as the gas tends to become rich or dense, the can rises and opens the port C. and so admits air and dilutes it. On the other hand, if the gas becomes thin and impoverished, the can falls and closes off a portion of the air or all of it. This mixer is adjusted when installed so as to mingle the air and gas which pass through it in the proportion of 1 5 per cent, of vapor to 85 percent, of air. This is a Gas Weighing Machine. It weighs the gas which passes through it, and if it is too heavy, it automatically opens an air-port and makes it lighter ; or if it is too light, it automatically shuts the air-port and makes the gas a little heavier. It is a governor of quality. It automatically compels all the gas that passes through it to contain the desired proportion of air and gasoline vapor. It will be seen that this mixer is durable and should last a lifetime, and that it requires no attention whatever; 17 once set up right, it may be left entirely to the operation of nature’s unchanging laws, certain to produce the qual¬ ity of gas described, as long as the gas generator is ade¬ quately supplied with gasolene. THE COST OF THE GAS As stated in an early par¬ agraph, six gallons of gasolene are required to make a thou¬ sand cubic feet of this gas, so that at twenty-two cents per gallon, (the present price of gasolene), the gas costs less than the average price of city gas. But since gasolene gas has a higher value as fuel than has city gas, and since incan¬ descent lighting is a fuel prop¬ osition, the Springfield Incan¬ descent Burner with this gas affords the cheapest ai'tificial light in the world. This claim is illustrated by the following comparisons: A flat flame burner consuming four cubic feet of gas per hour, gives the light of sixteen candles, while a Spring- field Incandescent Burner consuming three feet of gas per hour gives the light of fifty candles, showing that light by the former method costs four times as much as by the latter. No. 115 Springfield Burner De Luxe 18 One gallon of gasolene costing twenty-two cents will supply a Springfield Incandescent Burner giving the light of twenty-five candles for 111 hours. Fourteen pounds of Carbide of Calcium costing fifty- six cents will supply a burner giving the light of twenty- five candles 111 hours. 19 RESIDENCE OP S. JOHN LEA, ASHBOURNE, PA. Acetylene light costs two and one-half times as much as gasolene. It costs from one-half to one cent per hour to maintain an electric lamp, giving the light of sixteen candles, while with the Springfield Incandescent Burner gasolene gas pro¬ duces the light of sixteen candles, while consuming one cubic foot of gas per hour, costing one-eighth of one cent. Hence, it will be seen that electric light costs from four to eight times as much as light obtained by this method. aa^TJ 1 21 yyjyft , - m wiM A i ii ^W'fpTgf -,T i !!! 1 - ,,,uu " Ul ‘flnifitiUtttiit'i'r ' mi i 4 1 ■ , ' i uu ■»*»«• .m * «•«- i IHflHfl* w^wiiiis&mwiwsreirw SAFETY OF THIS METHOD The apparatus illustrated by Plate No. i, is installed in exact accordance with the Rules of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters, as revised and published October 20, 1886, a copy of which will be furnished on application. It will be seen that the gas generator which contains all the gasoline is located underground at least thirty feet from the building. We have now many thousands of these machines in use, covering a practice of thirty-six years and we don’t know that any insurance company has ever paid a dollar of loss caused by one of them. WW” MOUNT WASHINGTON HOTEL, WHITE MOUNTAINS, N. H. 99 jU UTILITY OF THE GAS Gasoline gas is an economical and convenient fuel for cooking and laundry purposes. This is clearly shown by our illustrated catalog (mailed free) of gas ranges, broilers, 23 laundry iron heaters, gas logs, gas stoves, water heaters and gas radiators. One of the most interesting uses to which gas may be put in promoting domestic comfort is undoubtedly that in connection with the preparation of food. For these purposes it has been extensively adopted by the general public. Its use for cooking is of special interest to those having gasoline gas machines, be¬ cause of the pe¬ culiar adaptability of the gas for fuel purposes. 24 .Hotel JAT* MARCO JT.AVCAJJ TINE-Fla .500 LlGHT«f> BR rw n Awit; m Prince-// Hotel™ ™ Hamilton Hotel Berhuda 15 LANDS; ARE EACH LIGHTED BY 500 LIGHT JPRINGFIELD GAJ MACHINE^ 500 Liotirj The HAMILTON $ 7 BERMUDA I5LAND4. lorida Moure H°tel Jan Marc° he Leon Hotei_ &R°ck H°use_ MAGNOLIA Hotel The Jeminole_ vfn-'<.»TED Tpring field ll^\ HY TMP . - GacHac hine j _ 5T-AU0UJT1NE .■STAUGIUTINE -TALLAHAJJEE 4.

This gas is used as fuel in the mechanical arts for heat¬ ing light forgings; melting gold, silver, brass, glass, and the like, soldering, brazing, bluing; in canneries and by manu¬ facturers of hollow ware. We invite correspondence on this branch of the subject, and we will submit plans and estimates for the construction of special apparatus for generating fuel gas from the cheaper products of naphtha, known as stove gasoline. For these purposes this gas is used by 25 more than two hundred and fifty canners and can makers; in about a hundred laboratories and by a thousand other manufactories in which a gaseous fuel is adaptable.

The farthest building- from the gas house is two thousand feet away, and at an elevation of a hundred feet above the machine. This apparatus delivered last year three and a half millions cubic feet of gas, and from the time the plant was started to this date the gas has never failed to respond to every demand which has been made upon it. TO PEOPLE WHO ARE BUILDING We venture to suggest the propriety of your putting in pipes for gas, even though you may not contemplate the immediate purchasing of a Gas Machine; for the expense of putting in pipes, if done at the proper time, while the structure is in progress, is trifling. Ordinary pipes, such as are used in the introduction of coal-gas, are the only ones needed. RESIDENCE OF MR. W. BAYARD CUTTING, OAKDALE, L. I. 32 For the proper flow and operation of Machine Gas, it is important that all bracket-pipes be run up from the floor below, in distinction to dropping from overhead; that all branch pipes for center lights be taken from the side of the running lines; that the whole system of piping should tend to decline toward the main rising pipe, and be free from low places or traps, and be proven with a pressure of air, under a test gauge, to be perfectly air and gas tight. The following scale of sizes of pipe, and number of burners to be supplied therefrom, is found by experience to show the proper size to secure a good flow of gas and to give the most satisfactory results: Greatest Number of f p - Greatest Number of Feet to be Run.

Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Northampton, Mass., June 9, 1905. Springfield, Mass. Gentlemen —The 2000-light Springfield Gas Machine which you fur¬ nished Mount Holyoke College in 1897, lighting the seven dormitories > and administration building, science hall, laboratory, gymnasium, art building and library, has been in use for eight years, and is giving very good satisfaction. With your Automatic Mixing Regulator and incandescent burners, the quality of the light is good and well adapted to all various purposes of the institution, and I am pleased to be able to so report to you. About a year ago you made us a special burner for use under chafing dishes, and we have installed several hundred of them to our satisfaction, and we find them much'more economical and safer than lamps using alcohol. Yours truly, (Signed) A. L. WILLISTON, Treas. H. M. Flagler. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Palm Beach, Florida, Oct. 4, 1905. Dear Sirs —In reply to your inquiry of the 3d inst. as to my opinion regarding the Springfield Gas Machine, I beg to say that I have had one in use at my country home in Mamaroneck for twenty years. It gives me entire satisfaction. When we built the Royal Poinciana Hotel at Palm Beach, we lighted with gas, installing the Springfield Gas Machine, which, if I remember correctly, had nearly 3000 burners. At that time I think it was the largest private gas machine in the country. We are still using the machine to its utmost capacity for laundry and other heating pur¬ poses. I do not know of any gas machine that is any better. Yours truly, H. M. FLAGLER. 34 H. H. Rogers, 26 Broadway. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. New York, Nov. 28, 1905. Dear Sirs —I have used your Combination Mixing Regulator in con¬ nection with your Springfield Gas Machine for the lighting of my house and stable at Fairhaven, Mass., during the past ten years. The regulator has governed the quality of gas most perfectly, regardless of the number of burners in use, and by its perfect automatic control removes the old objection of smoke. Yours truly, H. H. ROGERS. Dosoris Park, Glen Cove, L. I., Nov. 6, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs A —The three Combination Mixing Regulators in use in our houses at Dosoris Park, L. I., during the past eight or ten years, have given entire satisfaction. The automatic control regulates the quantity and quality of the gas so perfectly that we do not have to adjust either of the machines during the entire season. Yours truly, C. M. PRATT. Grand Central Station. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. New York, February 17, 1903. Gentlemen —In response to your inquiry, I would say that the two gas machines and automatic mixers which you installed at Sagamore Lodge, have so far proved very satisfactory. Yours truly, ALFRED G. VANDERBILT. Rosemount Hall, Esopus-on-the-Hudson. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Your letter of advice of January 3d is very much appreciated, and I beg to acknowledge your courtesy. Your Gas Machine has proved a great success with us. As we use the incandescent burners the light cannot be excelled, and light was all we expected at first. But we added gas logs in a few rooms, then conven¬ iences for the laundry and butler’s pantry, and hot water heater for summer, and finally we added a gas-power engine to be operated at the barn together with a pumping engine. And it does all of these things well. Very truly yours, ALTON B. PARKER. F. P. Olcott, 54 Wall Street. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. New York November 13, 1905. Dear Sirs —The Springfield U-as Machine which you installed to light my residence in Bernardsville, N.

Philadelphia, February 20, 1903. Gentlemen —Years ago I put in a Springfield Gas Machine and Mixer, and the result has been very satisfactory. I had electric lights in my house and I cut them out, as the Gas Machine gave me much better light and cost only about half. The Jenkmtown and Chittenham Gas Company about two years ago, ran their pipes past my house, and I thought I would put that in for lighting, and use the Gas Machine for cooking, and I got them to put it in and used it up to last September, when I decided on account of the poor light and heavy gas bills to discontinue it, which I did, and connected my gas plant to light the house again; the result is, I have twice a better light at about half the cost, and we do nearly all the cooking and part heating with it. I would not give it up again for any gas company. Very truly yours, S. JOHN LEA. William Porter Allen, 10 Wall Street. Gilbert and Barker Mfg. Co. New York, October 9, 1905. Dear Sirs —We are pleased to state that we used your gas machine with Mixing Regulator for about fifteen years, and until parts of the ma¬ chine were worn out. During that time we had a uniform quality of gas without the use of chimneys and without smoke. Four years ago new parts were supplied and the machine thoroughly overhauled, and since then we have had no trouble of any kind with the machine and it works as well today as it did the first day it was in use. Very truly yours, WM. PORTER ALLEN, Treasurer American Yacht Club. 40 H. Laussat Geyelin, Attorney-at-Law, Girard Building, Broad and Chestnut Streets, Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Philadelphia, Pa., October 30, 1905. Dear Sirs —The Springfield Gas Machine and Automatic Mixing Regulator, which you put in for me at my residence, Villa Nova, seven years ago, has given me the greatest satisfaction. It is all that you represented it to be, and I would not exchange it now for either coal gas or electric light. With the incandescent burners and with the ordinary burners it works admirably, and I have not had the least trouble, nor has there been a moment’s time when it has not been in good working order. Very truly yours H. LAUSSAT GEYELIN. The Red Li on Inn. Stockbridge, Mass., November 13, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —It is now nearly nine years since my experience began with the Springfield Gas Machine, and I am very glad to be able to say a word not only in praise of the machine and its satisfactory workmanship , but also as to the marked courtesy invariably shown in all business deal¬ ings with your company. M3C outfit consists of two machines with Water¬ wheels and Automatic Mixers. The light is used as an auxiliary, and fuel is also supplied for certain uses in the kitchen. In both departments the machines have always given entire satisfaction, are very cheap to maintain and perfectly simple in construction and care. Wishing you continued prosperity, so richly deserved, I am, Very truly yours, ALLEN T. TREADWAY. Two machines, one at Red Lion Inn and one at Heaton Hall. Whitemarsh, Montgomery Co., Pa., November 21, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —I have used a Springfield Gas Machine for the last twenty years. On my present one I have a combination Mixing Regulator. Run a Monarch Water Heater, also a gas range. Yours truly, F. GODEY. 41 Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Ardmore, Montgomery Co., Pa. Gentlemen —I have had one of the Springfield Gas Machines in con¬ stant use in my dwelling house for more than thirty years past, and have found it in every way satisfactory, costing in all those years scarcely any¬ thing for repairs, and taking little time to attend to same. A few months ago I had the Combination Mixing Regulator attached, by which I can now use the incandescent burners, which give a steady light of great power and brilliancy, superior to the electric light, and at a very much less cost. I take great pleasure in giving you this recommendation. Yours very respectfully, EDWARD GLENN. Northfield Seminary. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. East Northfield, Mass., June 27, 1905. Dear Sirs —We wish to give you our testimony for the efficiency of the Mixing Regulator which goes with your Springfield Gas Machine. The first machine which you put in for any of the Northfield schools was without that adjunct, but since then you have put in for us seven of your Gas Machines, all with the Mixing Regulator attached. These seven machines have not given us so much trouble as the old one without the Regulator. In these seven places we find your regulator a very great help, in fact well nigh a necessity for the most efficient service of your gas machines. Very truly yours, A. G. MOODY, Superintendent. Manning, Bowman & Co., Nickel and Silver Plated Ware. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Meriden, Conn., October 21, 1905. Dear Sirs —We desire to state that we have been using your Gas Machine for making naphtha gas for twenty years. It does all you claim for it, and has proved entirely satisfactory in every respect. Yours truly, MANNING, BOWMAN & CO. Agricultural Experiment Station of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts H. J. Wheeler, Ph.D., Director and Acting President Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Kingston, R. I., November 23, 1905. Dear Sirs —It gives me pleasure to state that the Springfield Gas Machine and Mixer installed at the Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station in the summer of 1890 has given perfect satisfaction, and is still working as well as could be .desired. Another machine installed in the college a year or two later, which is operated by a water motor, has also proved equally satisfactory. Very truly yours, H. J. WHEELER. 42 Town of Warren, Massachusetts, Office of Town Clerk and Treasurer. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Warren, Mass., November 16, 1905. Dear Sirs —The Springfield Gas Machine with Automatic Mixer was installed in our Town Hall in April, 1898, and the gas is burned through flat flame and incandescent burners, giving us a good light without any odor or smoke. The machine requires very little care, and has given uni¬ versal satisfaction since its installation. Respectfully yours, CHARLES B. BLAIR, Town Clerk and Treasurer, Town of Warren. American Optical Company. Southbridge, Mass., February 11, 1903. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —We have had your Springfield Gas Machine in successful use for the past twenty-four years, using the gas for illuminating pur¬ poses, soldering, melting gold and silver, annealing, tempering, harden¬ ing, and for all kinds of heating purposes. The Water-wheel Air Pump, connected with the plant, is always ready for duty for any number of hours daily, and needs but little atten¬ tion. The Mixing Regulator reduces the gas to a standard quality, which burns from common burners. We believe that our gas plant utilizes, in the best possible manner, all that there is in gasoline, either for heating or illuminating purposes. Yours truly, AMERICAN OPTICAL CO., H. C. Cady, Superintendent. Belding Bros. & Co., Silk Manufacturers, Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. New York, November 19, 1905. Dear Sirs —In reply to your letter of the 13th, inquiring as to my experience with a Springfield Gas Machine in my house at Ashfield, Mass., I would say that during the seven years in which this machine, together with the Automatic Mixing Regulator, has been in use it has given entire satisfaction and has proven to be all and more than I expected. I have also used the incandescent burner and your ordinary burner, and they have both given a fine light. I have used the gas for heating pur¬ poses, and the machine has proven equally as satisfactory in this partic¬ ular. Yours very truly, M. M. BELDING. 43 J. H. Whittemore. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Naugatuck, Conn., November 14, 1905. Dear Sirs —It gives me pleasure to state that during the past ten years I have used at my summer home at Middlebury, Conn., one of your Springfield Gas Machines, with Automatic Mixing Regulator. I have also made use of your gas in our range during the summer months, all giving the utmost satisfaction. Very respectfully yours, J. H. WHITTEMORE. Office of Chas. Osgood & Co., Wholesale Druggists, 45 and 47 Commerce Street. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Norwich, Conn., November 21, 1905. Dear Sirs —I have had in use at my hotel at Mystic Island, for the past nineteen years, one of your ioodight Gas Machines Its work has been so satisfactory that in the spring of 1897, I placed another in my house here, with which I light residence, hot-house and barn, besides doing the summer cooking and laundry. With the Automatic Mixer, which is used with both machines, the labor incidental to their care is reduced to a minimum. Sincerely yours, C. H. OSGOOD. Smith & Wesson. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Springfield, Mass., November 2, 1905. Dear Sirs —The Springfield Gas Machine, which you placed in my residence at Northboro twenty years ago, has been in operation at all times when the house has been occupied since. Six years ago an Auto¬ matic Mixer was put in, which with the water-wheel pump makes it a very simple machine, requiring but very little care. I do not use the gas for anything but lighting, but for that purpose it has been perfectly satisfactory. The light is steady. The machine has given me no trouble nor care whatever. Yours truly, D. B. WESSON. West Hartford, Conn., November 14, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —The Springfield Gas Machine and Automatic Mixing Regulator which you installed in my house six years ago has proved to be absolutely perfect. I use incandescent burners; light from eight to ten rooms; use a gas broiler in summer at an average expense of less than six cents a day. Have not laid out one cent on the machine since it was started. It is just O. K. in every particular. E. G. CLARK. 44 Henry R. Kibbe. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Somers, Conn., November 22, 1905. Dear Sirs —Yours of the 20th received. On January 30, 1895, 1 wrote you as follows: “I have used your Mixing Regulator in connection with my Gas Machine in my house in this place for over twelve years. I regard the whole apparatus as the safest and most reliable now known, and can thoroughly recommend it as producing a gas of uniform quality, free from smoke.” Since that time I have introduced an Automatic Mixing Regulator, which has worked to our entire satisfaction, furnishing uniform gas without care or attention, which we think is a great improve¬ ment over our experience in the twelve years noted above. Yours truly, H. R. KIBBE. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Bristol, Conn., November 21, 1905. Dear Sirs —It gives me pleasure in reply to your letter of recent date to most cordially recommend the Springfield Gas Machine and Mixer, which I have had in use at my residence for the past eighteen years, the light being very bright and steady and the machine in all ways as recom¬ mended. Very truly yours, GEO. W MITCHELL. Forbes & Wallace, New York, 2 Walker St.; Manchester, 66 Faulkner St.; Paris, 3 Cite Trevise; Chemnitz, 25 Theatre Str.; St. Gall, 5 Dleiche Str. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Springfield, Mass.. March 26, 1905. Dear Sirs —The Gas Machine with Mixing Regulator that you put in at Hatchetts, South Lyme, Conn., after sixteen years’ experience, we are pleased to say gives splendid satisfaction. With a little care first of the season, the five cottages, casino and street lamps have gone through the summer to the satisfaction of all interested. Respectfully, A. B. WALLACE. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Prescott, Ontario, October 21, 1905. Dear Sirs —-I have used your Gas Machine with the Mixing Regulator attachment for lighting my house for twenty years. I have had no trouble, and have found the regulator reliable and efficient. It makes gas uniform in quality, and I burn it through plain burners. I should think our climate afforded a severe test of your process. J. P. WISER. 45 Arthur E. Woodbury Chas. W. Woodbury C. L. Woodbury Sons, Dealers in Staple and Fancy Groceries, Meats, Provisions, etc. 53 and 55 Main Street. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Hudson, Mass., November 3, 1905. Gentlemen —-Our ten years’ experience with the Springfield Gas Machine has been satisfactory. If we were compelled to install another gas machine we should surely put in one of yours. Yours very sincerely, C. L. WOODBURY SONS. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Georgetown, Mass., November 30, 1905. Gentlemen —Replying to your favor of the 27th inst., would say that the Springfield Gas Machine placed in our school building by you in 1900 has been in use ever since without an hour of lost time to us because of any trouble with the machine. It has proved perfectly satisfactory to us in every respect. Yours very truly, H. HOWARD NOYES, Sec’y, Trustees of the Perley Free School. Office of John L. Sheldon, Dealer in Fine Furniture. House Furnishings. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Wakefield, R. I., November 28, 1905. Gentlemen —-We are pleased to inform you that after three years’ usage of your gas plant, installed in our store, will say that it has been very satisfactory, and consider it far superior to the electric light service previously used. Yours respectfully, J. L. SHELDON. Geo. E. Whiting. 96 Highland Street, Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co., Hyde Park, Mass., November 1. 1905. Gentlemen —Some fifteen years ago I had one of your Gas Machines put in and it has given me such satisfaction that perhaps a testimonial from me might be acceptable to your company. We have a gas stove, and from April to October we do all our cooking with gas, and in hot weather it is one of the luxuries of life. Yours truly, GEO. E. WHITING. Note —Four years ago we put in an Automatic Combination Mixer and gas range for Mr. Whiting. G. & B. MFG. CO. 46 Vincent Y. Bowditch, M.D., 508 Beacon Street. Gilbert & Barker MfCx. Co. Boston, Mass., November 2, 1905. Gentlemen —It gives me great pleasure in behalf of the Directors of the Sharon Sanitarium to state that the gasoline plant which you placed in the institution about five years ago has given us much satisfaction. Yours respectfully, VINCENT Y. BOWDITCH. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Boston, Mass., November 3, 1905. Dear Sirs —I consider your Gas Machine and appliances most satis¬ factory. Relations with you have been very pleasant and you have fulfilled your contracts with me even better than I expected. The light is much better than city gas, and more economical. Yours truly, GEO. M. MORGAN. House at Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass. The Arlington, in the White Mountains. Bethlehem, N. Id., November 28, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —Replying to yours of recent date, will say that the Springfield Gas Machine which you put in for me in 1895 did its work to perfection, not only lighting my hotel with satisfaction, but furnishing fuel for heating my carving table and griddle-cake baker. The Automatic Mixing Regulator, which you installed with the plant, kept the lights always brilliant and steady with not the least blowing, so common with some gas machines. It will give me pleasure to recommend your ma¬ chine to anyone desiring a good and economical lighting plant. Yours truly, F. C. ABBE, Proprietor. Wilson House, Vineyard Sound House, Natick, Mass. Falmouth Heights, Mass. George W. Giddings, Proprietor. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Natick, Mass., November 28, 1905. Dear Sirs —The Springfield Gas Machine that I bought of you ten years ago for the Vineyard Sound House at Falmouth Heights, Mass., gives entire satisfaction, and I cannot speak in too high terms of the Automatic Mixing Regulator. It not only regulates the lights to perfec¬ tion, but it prevents all smoking and odor. I could not afford to be without it. Yours respectfully, G. W. GIDDINGS. 47 Pawnee House Cottage City, Mass., November 28, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —I have now used the Springfield Gas Machine sixteen seasons with entire satisfaction, without any expense as to repairs, and at a saving of about fifty per cent, in the price of gas. The Water-wheel Pump and Mixer are a great success. The Mixer is simple, easily adjusted, and regulates the quality of gas to just the quality of light that is desired. I have had to regulate the quality only three times in burning what my generator holds (15 bbls.). The Mixing Regulator is indispensable to a perfect working outfit. Yours truly, J. G. BASSETT. Maplehurst Farm. Lancaster, Mass., November 28, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —There is no gas machine in the market (and I have used a great many of them) that is so satisfactory, taking everything into consideration, as the Springfield Gas Machine and Mixing Regulator. Very truly yours, JOHN E. THAYER. Frank Seabury, 50 State Street. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Boston, Mass., November 28, 1905. Gentlemen —The Springfield Gasoline Machine which you put in for me at Beverly Farms some years ago, has fulfilled your promises in every way; it does its work perfectly and has been most satisfactory, having all the advantages and simplicity of city gas, while giving nearly twice as much light. Your representatives have been most courteous in installing the plant, and it gives me great pleasure to commend your apparatus to anyone. Very truly yours, FRANK SEABURY. Thomas Allen, 12 Commonwealth Avenue. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Boston, Mass., December 1, 1905. Gentlemen —I am very glad to report to you that the Springfield Gas Machine which you installed in my summer house at Princeton, Mass., in 1896, has worked and continues to work in a very satisfactory way. Yours very truly, THOMAS ALLEN. 48 Sea Shore House, F. G. Staples, Proprietor. Old Orchard, Me., November 28, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —In answer to your inquiry I am pleased to state that the 300-light mixer which you put in ten years ago has given perfect satis¬ faction. We have had a very fine light in every part of the house and free from smoke. In our public rooms we have used incandescent burners. The light has been more brilliant than any we have seen used with the common gas. Very respectfully yours, F. G. STAPLES. Office of E. Kenyon & Son, Fancy Cassimeres. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Kenyon, R. I., March 28, 1903. Dear Sirs —Your favor received. In reply, we have used one of your 500-light Gas Machines with Mixing Regulator for the past fourteen years, during which time it has given perfect satisfaction. Yours truly, E. KENYON & SON. William W. Crapo, Charles W. Clifford, Walter Clifford, Henry H. Crapo, Oliver Prescott, Jr. Crapo, Clifford & Prescott, Counsellors-at-Law, Masonic Building. New Bedford, Mass., October 31, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —I have used one of your Springfield Gas Machines with Mixing Regulator for the past seven years. It has worked perfectly in every respect and has given entire satisfaction. The cost of the light is comparatively small and the increased convenience over lamps and candles is immeasurable. I use the gas furnished by the machine as motive power in a gas machine for pumping purposes with entire success. Yours truly, OLIVER PRESCOTT, Jr. Tileston & Hollingsworth Co., Paper Manufacturers, 35 Federal Street. Mr. C. C. Ramsdell, Boston, December 3, 1905. Dear Sir —In reply to your inquiry in regard to the working of the Springfield Gas Machine which you put into my house at Milton, I would say that during the four years it has been in my house it has given entire satisfaction, and I have had no difficulty whatever in using the incandes¬ cent mantles on the burners, and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone wanting a good gas machine. Yours very truly. A. L. HOLLINGSWORTH. 49 South Swansea, Mass., December 2, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —The Springfield Gas Machine which you installed in our house five years ago has proved very satisfactory. We use incandescent burners and have the best light that I know of. The cost of gasoline is very small compared with the light furnished. The care is not much more than a clock which has to be wound daily, besides about two hours’ work twice a year filling the tank. Very truly yours, CHAS. A. CHASE. Norton Mills Company, Wool Sorted, Scoured and Carbonized. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Norton, Mass., December 3, 1905. Gentlemen —Answering your letter of the 2d inst., I am using two of your Springfield Gas Machines for two different houses and find them thus far perfectly satisfactory. Am also using one of your gas ranges, and find that equally as good. The machines referred to have been installed about three years. Yours very truly, GEO. H. TALBOT. Albert D. Thayer. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Franklin, Mass., June 17, 1905. Gentlemen —Your favor of the 15th inst., was duly received and noted. In answer to your inquiry as to my opinion of the Springfield Gas Machine, would say that I can only speak words of praise, having used one for lighting my dwelling house twenty-three years. The fact of its giving such good satisfaction was what induced me to put in another plant at the Ray Memorial Library a year ago, and also induced the Trustees of Dean Academy this spring to adopt your system of lighting. At this institution they have a large machine and besides lighting their own buildings exceedingly well, furnish light for one church, one brick block in which there are stores, halls, and office rooms, and two dwelling houses one-eighth of a mile distant. Hope it may continue to give as good satisfaction in years to come as it has the past three months. Yours truly, ALBERT D. THAYER. 50 Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —The Gas Machines installed by your company in our church have been very satisfactory. The breakage of mantles, etc., is far less than we anticipated, and we take pleasure in recommending your machines. CHARLES COLE, Sec. and Trustee M. E. Church, East Bridgewater. Mass. Webster Company. North Attleboro, Mass., June 20, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sir —Replying to your kind favor under date of June 15th, wherein you ask what satisfaction I have received from the gas plant which you installed for me at my summer home at Matunuc, R. I., I beg to say that it has been entirely satisfactory. You will remember that I installed this plant a year ago this month. It has afforded me all of the lighting for my cottage, all of the cooking has been done with it, also used for the laundry, and the gas is always ready at a moment’s notice. It has heated effectually, all of the chambers that I have connected with the gas radiators, and I can say that I would not have it taken away at double the expense of the installation, if I could not replace it. Very sincerely yours, G. K. WEBSTER. Cluett, Peabody & Company, Philadelphia. Garret.tford, Del. Co., Pa., October 18, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —Answering your request of the 16th inst., would say that the gas machine you placed for me in April, 1904, is fully up to expectations, and with the assistance of your mantle burners, we have excellent light. After its completion you filled the tank, holding five barrels of gasoline. We have not added any to it, and based upon a test made recently, it will last us for some time. It has not required any attention, excepting winding it up several times a week. Yours respectfully, GEO. W. STATZELL. 51 Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. October 31, 1905. Dear Sirs —-Your letter of the 17th October addressed to my sister, Mrs. C. E. Buele, Greenwood, Va., was duly received. She has asked me to write to you in her behalf that the machine installed by you at her home in Albemarle Co., Virginia, has been most satisfactory in every way. The light is very steady and bright and is produced with very little trouble in the way of attention to the machine. She has used it for the past two summers and is in every way pleased with it. Yours very truly, T. C. WILLIAMS, Jr. Walter E. Greenwood, Attorney-at-Law. Coatsville, Pa., October 18, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —I think it but just that I should express my satisfaction to you concerning the operation of the gas machine furnished me about a year ago. The machine is one of your smaller sizes, but carries about forty-five lights, and each individual light burns brightly even when all are in operation. The net cost to me is extremely small and I am getting better results in this machine at about one-fourth the cost than were re¬ ceived by me through the use of a modern acetylene machine which was removed to make room for this one. Very truly yours, W. E. GREENWOOD. Thos. J. Saunders, Dealer in Piling and all kinds of Manufactured Lumber. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Everetts, Va., October 30, 1905. Gentlemen —I have used your gas machine for two years and in every way it has proven satisfactory. I am very much pleased with the ma¬ chine both for lighting and heating. Most respectfully, THOMAS J. SAL T NDERS. B. S. Royster, Attorney-at-Law. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Oxford, N. C., October 21, 1905. Gentlemen —In response to your letter of the 17th inst., I beg to say that the gas machine and fixtures which you installed in my residence have been highly satisfactory. I am pleased with the character of the light and the cost of lighting is less than you estimated. Yours very truly, B. S. ROYSTER. 52 Huntingdon Valley, Penna., October 19, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —I have now been using the Springfield Gas Machine for some time and am well pleased with its performance in lighting, cooking food and warming my house. N. M. BELLOWS, M.D. Lake City, Fla., September 23, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —It gives me pleasure to express the satisfaction that the Springfield Gas Machine has given in the chemical laboratory of the University of the State of Florida. A year and a half ago, we installed an Automatic Mixing Regulator which has performed its work perfectly and has become indispensable to us. I have no hesitation in recommend¬ ing it. Very truly yours, E. R. FLINT. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Salem, N. Y., June 21, 1905. Gentlemen —Your letter of the 8th ;nst., was received by the pastor of the church and was handed to me only today. In reply to your question, if our gas plant which is in use in our church now over twenty years, is giving satisfaction, wish to say that we like it very well and that since we put an Automatic Mixing Regulator with our machine and installed two six burner gas arc lights, our church is lighted better than any church in this town and that with the use of a great many less lights than we had before. I do not remember how many lights we used to have on our two chandeliers, but they were a great many and quite more expensive than our present system. Yours truly, H. SPALLHOLZ, For the Trustees of the M. E. Church, Salem. J. SCHWARZWALDER & SONS, Cooperage Works, 62Q-641 West 51st Street. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. New York, September 29, 1905. Gentlemen —I am pleased to say that for the past eight or ten years I have been using your gas machine which has given me entire satisfaction, and fulfilled my expectation, and I can therefore recommend same to be all that you claim it Yours truly, HENRY SCHWARZWALDER 53 Long House, Bryn Mawr P. 0 ., Pennsylvania, October 29, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —The Gas Machine bought from you three years ago has given perfect satisfaction in every way. Very truly yours, L. NALLE. Siems & Shields, Railway Contractors. St. Paul, Minn., October 2, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —Your favor of the 20th ult , is received and noted. Two years ago I bought your Machine with Automatic Mixing Regulator, which was installed in our Daytona, Fla. residence. This machine has given excellent satisfaction in lighting our house, and in furnishing gas for doing our cooking and washing. Yours truly, PETER SIEMS. The Ormond, Ormond, Florida, Mt. Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, N. H. Bretton Woods, N. H., September 25, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —-We used the Springfield Gas Machine at Ormond with eminent satisfaction to ourselves and guests. The Mixer was a most valuable adjunct and we are pleased to testify to the merits of the whole outfit. Yours very truly, ANDERSON & PRICE, Managers. Messrs. Anderson and Price are also using one of our largest gas machines during the summer months in the Mount Washington Hotel, in the White Mountains. G. & B. MFG. CO. Hinman & Hecker, Belvoir Stock Farm. Century, Fla., Monday, September 25, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —I installed one of your gasoline gas plants in my house one year ago, including your Automatic Mixing Regulator and Incan¬ descent Burners. The plant has given perfect satisfaction and I am willing at any time to have you refer any one in this locality to me. Very truly yours, FRANK C. HECKER. 54 The Jacob Tome Institute. Port Deposit, Md., October 18, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —It gives me pleasure to state that during the two or three years that we have used your gas machines we have never had the slight¬ est difficulty with them, and they have always done their duty in every way, shape and manner. They are entirely automatic, and I do not see how they could be made to work any better. Yours very truly, WALTER FLINT. Malvern, Chester Co., Pa., October 23, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —The 100-light Springfield Gas Machine you installed nearly two years ago at our summer residence near Malvern has given perfect satisfaction in every respect. In addition to lighting the dwelling, it furnished the gas to run one Ericsson pumping engine for water tower located several hundred feet from the house. This season I have ex¬ tended the pipes to a new stable and carriage house introducing nine gas burners, this is also a considerable distance from the house. I am using your small mantles consuming one and one-fourth feet of gas per hour and have a much brighter light than we get at our city residence with the U. G. I. gas and large mantles with Welsbach burners. Although we are running 25 to 30 lights of an evening and have several burners all night, the gasoline tank which is buried in the ground eighty feet from the house, has not yet been replenished and will no doubt run all next season without refilling. It is much more satisfactory than an electric light plant and much less trouble and expense. In conclusion I will say, I am more than pleased for it has far exceeded our expectations. Very truly yours, FRED. A. DREER, 1520 Spruce St., Philadelphia, Pa. The Gallaudet Home for Aged and Infirm Deaf Mutes. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., October 19, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —I have used your gas machine at the Gallaudet Home for Aged and Infirm Deaf Mutes, nearly three years. In every way we have found the illumination satisfactory, and truthfully recommend it as a means of lighting. Yours truly, E. P. NELSON. 55 Silver Grove Hotel. Pennsville, N. J., October 23, T905 Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —In reply to your request it gives me pleasure to say, I have been using your gas machine for the last two years, it has never cost me a dollar for repairs and is the best and most reliable gas machine I know of. I am now lighting five stores, three houses, my hotel and outside grounds, pumping my water and using a big gas range on your gas machine, and will say, it gives a clear, steady, bright light and entire satisfaction to my consumers and myself, both in light and cost of gas. Yours very truly, WM. D. ACTON. Rosemont. Berryville, Clarke Co., Va., October 19, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs —I am in receipt of your favor of the 17th inst., and in reply take pleasure in saying we have used the gas manufactured by one of your machines for lighting, cooking and operating an automatic hot water heater, for three years, and it has given entire satisfaction. Yours very truly, CHARLES E. CLAPP. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co Philmont, N. Y., June 9, 1905. Gentlemen —We have your favor of recent date at hand, and in reply we are glad to say anything that we can to recommend the use of the Springfield Gas Machine to those who contemplate the use of gas for illuminating purposes, for isolated plants. We have used your machine for lighting our mill since it was built in 1879, only renewing it once, in 1885, when we exchanged for a larger size generator which has been in continuous use now over 20 years, and this 250-light machine has been carrying nearly 300 lights in our mill and about 100 lights in our resi¬ dences. While we have sometimes had difficulty in getting the best results, we presume it is owing to defective arrangement of our piping and our overtaxing the machine, but we have accomplished our illumi¬ nation, nevertheless, very successfully, and we unhesitatingly recommend it as the best machine of its kind, especially in conjunction with your Automatic Mixer. We have recently placed our order with you for a 500-light generator, which we hope soon to have installed, and feel con¬ fident that it will give us very satisfactory results. Yours truly, HIGH ROCK KNITTING CO., F. B. Harder. 56 Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Saluda, N. C., October 19, 1905. My Dear Sirs —It would be impossible to speak too highly of the merits of your gas machine you installed in my house in May, 1904. It has never given the smallest trouble, and has always worked to perfection in every respect, providing a splendid light, gas for all kitchen purposes, and an abundance of hot water for bath room and lavatories, through the Columbia Water Heater, which you also put in for me in connection with the gas machine. As an eliminator of household drudgery, and a most economical service of light and fuel, (the expense in our case for all the above mentioned purposes not exceeding $5 per month for gasoline), it is invaluable, and should make it indispensable to any country house. I am, Very truly yours, LEONARD HEWETT. Gilbertville, Mass., June 12, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen —-The Congregational Church in Gilbertville put in a 75- light Springfield Gas Machine in 1884, three years ago we added an Auto¬ matic Mixer and installed five incandescent gas arc lights which took the place of forty-four arm burners with thirty-six openings in each burner. Since making this change our gasoline bills have been reduced more than one-half and the lighting of our church is now very satisfactory. A former pastor who visited us said we had the best lighted audience room he had been in anywhere. Very truly yours, A. H. RICHARDSON, Chairman of Committee. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Orange, Conn., June 12, 1905. Dear Sirs —In reply to yours of the 7th inst., would say that we have one of your Springfield Gasoline Gas Machines of 150-light capacity, with Water-wheel pump and Automatic Mixer which you installed for us last November. We used the gas to light three residences, seed ware¬ house and barn. We have in use about 125 burners on most of which we use Welsbach mantles. We also use this gas for fuel purposes in cooking and we are very pleased to state that we are very well satisfied indeed with the results obtained from the machine thus far. The machine has been absolutely automatic up to this date. We have not been obliged to as much as look at the machine, which, considering the cold weather we had last winter, we consider a pretty good record. Yours very truly, S. D. WOODRUFF & SONS. 57 S. Curtis & Son, Paper Boxes and Wood Handles, Pressed Horn and Hoof Stock. Sandy Hook, Conn., June 9, 1905. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co. Gentlemen— I have one of your Springfield Gas Machines 150-light with Automatic Mixer, that I have had in use for one year. The gas lights two houses and one store, and I have in use about 75 burners, mostly incandescent, the gas is also used for fuel purposes in cooking, heating water, etc. I have run the machine for the past year continuously, it has worked very nicely and we think here that it is about perfect. I take pleasure in recommending your machine to any one in want of anything in this line. Yours very truly, HENRY G. CURTIS. The Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Conn. W. B. Perry, Jr., Curator. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co., Springfield, Mass. Gentlemen —-It gives us great pleasure to add our testimony as to the value of the Springfield Gas Machine. We have been using one in combination with the Automatic Mixing Regulator for several years with perfect satisfaction. The gas is used for lighting purposes continuously, for cooking, for heating laundry machines, and for fuel in our Physical Laboratory. Yours very truly, W. B. PERRY, Jr. Chapin & Gould Paper Co., Crescent Mills. Gilbert & Barker Mfg. Co., Springfield, Mass., November 21, 1903. Dear Sirs —We have used your Mixing Regulator in our mill for the past twelve years, and can testify that it has done all that was claimed for it, giving us a superior quality of gas, wholly free from smoke. We cheerfully recommend the Mixing Regulator to all users of your machine. Yours truly, CHAPIN & GOULD PAPER CO.
